Fruitcake Lyrics
(Click a title)
There's a fruitcake for
everybody
There's a fruitcake for everyone
There are B-sides to every story
If you decide to have some fun
Take a bite, it's all right
There's some brandy and star margarine
to make it bright
Take a bite, it's all right
A little lovin' and some fruit to bake
Life is a piece of cake
It's the season for being happy
But the reason is dead and gone
If the reason for being happy
takes a backseat when the season's done
Take a bite, it's all right
Taste the taste that sent all mothers giggling
in sheer delight
Take a bite, it's all right
A little lovin' and some fruit to bake
Life is a piece of cake
Everybody everywhere
People do you really care
Xmas time has once again arrived
There's a mistletoe and a little snow
But we don't get it down in Fruitcake Heights
Stars are falling down from heaven
But it's nowhere near our town
Miracles are falling down from heaven
But it's nowhere near our town
There's a fruitcake in everybody
There's a fruitcake in everyone
There are B-sides to every story
And the story has just begun
So take a bite, it's all right
Taste the taste that sent all mothers giggling
in sheer delight
Take a bite, it's all right
A little girl is riding all alone
She ran away from home...
Shadow is my friend
He'll be with me till the end
I don't have to make amends
Like that river 'round the bend
He won't let me down
Just chase me around
He won't get on my nerves
If it gets any worse
People are so strange
Everybody is deranged
Everytime I try to speal
They don't get it for a week
I'll get out of bed
Sing songs in my head
I'll wait for the sun
To shine on the one
Who never disagrees
And likes everything he sees
Let's go for a ride
The road is long and wide
We left town to look for
someone who would listen
To some songs we cooked in our magic kitchen
Change was fobidden
It wasn't clear
Everyone must sing the same old songs every year
Like a spell the sounds came
Dancing in our heads
Painting pictures as we slept our souls were fed
In a music box we kept our secret songs
Packed our bags we took the van and before long
Tides shift and slide into another
Like a flat tire twisting fates
An innocent chance in the destiny dance
Take you down the wizard gates
Never speak to strangers often I was told
Then looked desperately harmless I felt bold
Sometime later, alligator, we were friends
Shared some stories, tales of worries somehow it all blends
Everyone seemed all right
Situation stable
Everything seemed all right
Never turns our to be quite simple
We had to get back
Packed the wrong box in the sack
We had to back
And she tagged along
Gatekeeper, Gatekeeper
Please let us in with her
I have been here when this town was born
Secrets I own, to keep I have sworn
If you have none, then go flee away
Bring me new tidings and see me some other day
Heed my will
Then they returned so soon from their quest
Lost boys of town, came back with a guest
She was no druid but if you incite
She had some stories so odd to Bobo's delight
Heed my will
Tales so unordinary
Alien and strange
She talked about Yuletide war and corruption
Nuclear gift exchange
Traffic and crime, slime on the grapevine
Now I am inclined to let you in with her
Because I'm the gatekeeper
You may come in with her
We are the carol kings and
we'd like to say hello
We're here to sing you every little xmas song we know
So get ready close or open your windows
Take out or hide your money honey we don't care
We're here to sing the staples
Old-fashioned xmas carols
Here we go again
Merry xmas everybody
Happy new year too
Merry xmas everybody
Happy new year too
We'll sing of chestnuts frosting on the turtle doves coming to town
We'll sing of building a snowman and pretending he's Jackson Brown
Silver bells, silver bells silver all the way
What fun it is to give love on a one horse xmas day
It doesn't really matter
The former of the latter
Coz here we go again
Come they told me the lord has come
Let earth in heavenly peace
Whispering dope
Never smoke hope
We'll go down in history
We are the carol kings and we'd like to thank you all
You've been so very kind we hope that you had a xmas ball
We really have to go coz there's a dozen houses mo'
But next year we'll be knockin' on your door again
And soon we'll all be singin'
The same some that you're hearin'
Now people let me hear you say
Styrosnow styrosnow
We believe in styrosnow
Styrosnow styrosnow
We love to play in styrosnow
The winter isn't coming
because there isn't one
And all that falls on xmas day
are the warm rays of the sun
We dreamed of Mr. Frosty
And skiing down the slopes
Till our folks fulfilled our wishes
With a little styrosnow, Ho!
Styrosnow styrosnow
We believe in styrosnow
Styrosnow styrosnow
We love to play in styrosnow
Pa-pom-pa-pum-pum-pum-pum-pum
It isn't very pretty
And it's not even cold
But when it falls from the factory
It's a wonder to behold
We just use our imagination
Because we have a lot
We know we shouldn't be so piccky
Oh not when all we got is
Styrosnow styrosnow
Fill the world with styrosnow
Styrosnow styrosnow
Everybody loves that styrosnow
Keepin' it alive styrosnow
Everybody walk the styrosnow
(S-T-Y-R-O styro!)
Open your door,
Dance on the floor
Hey
What's your name,
Let's play a game
When it begins,
Your head will spin
I am the champ,
Come see me stomp
It never ends
Oh tell me do you wanna fly
Fly high way up
in the sky
Or maybe you don't even have to try
All you have to do is follow that star
But when the star doesn't shine
You won't be able to find your way
And the wiseman will still remain
The king of the trip to Jerusalem
Sometimes you win,
Sometimes you fail
Choose holy blood, lose holy grail
Just when you think you've gone so far
You find yourself back to the start
It never ends
The music plays like a heavenly choir
Lovely chairs are there if you get tired
Don't listen to a word he says
He's just trying to distract you
Do your own thing
Stick with what you want
Open your drawer,
Dance on the floor
And now at last,
Just two of us
Only one chair, who will sit there
Is it the king or is it the Heir
It never ends
Oh tell me
Do you wanna fly...
The only thing you can do is pray
On our trip to Jerusalem
Spin, spin gonna spin you around
Magic in the vine
Sugar when I cook
Shake and bake the flavor come and take a look
Nuts, nuts, nuts everywhere
Berries and wine so divine they grow in my hair
It ain't easy being a fruit fairy
Fruits are flights of fancy
Just think fruitcakes ain't no fruitcake without me
Here take this wand wave it in the air
Surprise, surprise that really is my spatula
All day long I tend the garden
Talk 2 the leaves and dig the sun (dig)
All day long I tend the garden
Eat the bugs and water the plants
Smoke 'em weed
Baker baker baker boy
Bake a girl bake a boy
They come to me for donuts and blueberry pie
They love my creme merengue and my fresh-baked rye
Have a taste, have a taste
Help yourself, feel free
It's just you and me in the fabulous bakery
Try this maja blanca and my leche flan
I never use brown sugar or milk from a can
Have a taste, have a taste
Help yourself, feel free
It's just you and me in the fabulous bakery
Last xmas papa died in a freak baking accident, how I cried
Too much flour and too much yeast
A costly mistake for the perfect fruitcake
The fabulous baker boy, that's me
Baker baker baker boy
Bake a girl bake a boy
Bake me this, bake you that
I don't care if you get fat
Bake it dast
Bake it quick
Shadow jumped over the candlestick
Garbage can and gasoline
'Tis the season 2 unpack
Along with the holiday decor
the rockin' rolling puns and cookie cutters
Roll out roll out the barrel
Roll out the barrel of fun
Roll out the barrel of rhum
Turn
Turn my world around
I got the flavio
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
4 large eggs
1 cup glazed fruits
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup honey
1 cup brown sugar
A cup of assorted nuts
And 1 barrel of rhum
Mix, fold, bake, decorate
Big dipper north of nowhere
Outside the room inside my mind
I look forward to tomorrow
But can I leave yesterday behind
How it feels so strange
To have grown and change
Now it's not the same
Coz time slips and slides into another place
And try as we might to understand each other
Doesn't really matter where you are
It always seems so very far
It's like you're lightyears away
You're lightyears away from me
Little dipper south of somewhere
It looks much closer than it really is
I held it in my hands
But you're forever out of reach
Far as the eye can see
Nothing is meant to be
Doesn't mean much to me
But ohhh, if I only had a rocketship to fly
I'd be right there in a minute
But it doesn't really matter where I am
However near is still so far
Coz you're lightyears away
You're lightyears away from me
I look forward to tomorrow
But can I leave yesterday behind
Everybody gather round
celebrate
We will have a feast in town
Preparations must take place
Santa himself is coming this year
Even if it's not snowing here
We will have a ball so grand
Hang shiny happy bright lights
Don't forget the cakes at midnight
Wear your dancing shoes and Christmas bells
Now do this and do that says the X-mass comm
Something quite wrong
Is coming along
Every detail is fine yet
Something seem so queer
Twas the week before
Christmas
And all through the town
All the people were trippin'
Then something came down...
I never knew I had it
Day after day the dullness grew
Then one day
I just felt plain lazzzzy
Yes I have it
I have it
I am infected
Mono virus
I got the symptoms
I need the cure
I want to go to bed
Kiss me kiss me
Get ahead on the door
You won't see it comin'
Day after day tedium
One day you'll just feel plain stooopeed
Yes you have it
You gotta have it
You are infected
Repetition same shit everyday every year
Change is forbidden restrained by the fear
Apathetically speakin'
It's been a long time
The cake remains the same
Now beat on the doldrums
Everybody shine
Shine everybody
Everybody shine
Shine everybody
Shine everybody
Everybody rise and shine
Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice
Coz now you have a choice
You're free
As a bird on a tree
Are you happy as me
Now it's time to leave all cares and worries behind
Elevate your mind
Rise and shine
Hooray, hooray, hooray
Is all that I can say
I'm cured
What an exciting food
I never felt so good
Yes it's time to leave all cares and worries behind
Elevate my mind
Rise and shine
I'd hate to burst your
bubble
Or rain on your parade
Coz you've gone through all the trouble
Preparations you have made
But I've got a little news and
It's really not that good
I don't wanna spoil the party
But I really think I should
You may have been naughty
You may have been nive
Well it doesn't really matter at all
Throw your stockings out of the window
Coz Santa ain;t comin' no mo'
We talked to him this morning
And he said he wasn't well
Old Rudolph has a cold
His nose is running like hell
He doesn't like your weather
And he really hates the press
He'd rather stay in bed
Than be your little town's guest
Don't want no hesitation
Now children don't you fret
There's no need to feel bad about a fat guy in red
We want your full cooperation
Everybody settle down
It's time to talk business
We're not here to fool around
All around the world
People make a change
C'mon and join the celebration
All around the world
People make a change
It's time to have a xmas party
Peace on earth goodwill to every man
It isn't very hard to understand
So get into the groove of happiness
You got no choice but to feel like all the rest
There's a new day dawning
Something great is happening
Everybody get down
Funky little heaven and nature sing
Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice
Coz now we got no choise
We're free to do whatever we please
Get up off our knees
Yes it's time to leave all cares and worries behind
Make it yours and mine
At xmas time
Hitchin' a ride on Santa's
sleigh
Zig-zaggin' through the snow
Hitchin' a ride on Santa's sleigh
Flying raindeers on the airway
I'm a U-F-O
Speedin' free
Across the universe
I'm a flying V
I brought home a present
A souveneir affair
A little box of carols to all I wish to share
There are no moral lessons
You can make some for your own
I don't mean no revolution
Play a song to move your backbone
My folks were glad and merry
I got home safe and quick
Guess who gave 'ole Santa a sweet little kiss on his rosy red cheek
Wake up little darlin'
It's Christmas morning
The sun is up
It's time to open
All the gifts
That you've been given
You had been dreaming
Angels are singing
But now they've gone
And once again
It's time to go on with our lives
Let's hope that the next year
Will be better than last year
And somehow we'll all get by
And maybe the time will come
When we won't need to pretend
To be happy for just a while
World keeps on turning
Fools keep on wishing
And when you wake
You'll find that everything
Is not what we dreamed them to be
Wake up little darlin'
It's Christmas morning
So rise and shine
Let's make the most
Of happy holidays
Or maybe I should just let you dream
For a while longer
Wherever's a better place than here
